00:21the country's once welcoming stance is rapidly shifting.
00:24A web of new caps, financial barriers, and political will is reshaping the rules.

00:54This video examines the alarming 31% drop in Indian student permits,
01:06Canada's newly imposed study permit cap for 2025,
01:10the steep rise in financial requirements for applicants,
01:13the Prime Minister's broader agenda to cap temporary migration,
01:17and the far-reaching implications these changes hold for future international students.
01:21So be sure to watch till the end to learn how these developments could impact your study plans
01:28and visa success in Canada.
01:35Let's begin with 31% drop in Indian student permits.
01:40Only 30,640 Indian students received permits between January and March 2025,
01:49down from 44,295 during the same period in 2024.
01:56This sharp decline is part of a broader strategy to curb international intake.
02:04Next, we explore Canada's new study permit cap for 2025.
02:08The total number of study permits has been slashed to 437,000 for 2025,
02:15a steep drop from 485,000 the year before.
02:22IRCC has confirmed this limit will likely remain in place through 2026.
02:30Moving on to rising financial requirements for applicants.
02:33From January 1st, 2024, applicants must now prove access to $20,635 Canadian dollars,
02:45double the previous benchmark.
02:47This change alone has filtered out thousands of hopeful candidates,
02:52especially from developing nations.
02:54Then, we examine the Prime Minister's plan to cap temporary migration.
03:04Newly elected PM Mark Carney has vowed to cap temporary residents, including students,
03:10at 5% of Canada's total population by 2027, further tightening access across all categories.
03:17Following that, we look at the implications for future international students.
03:26With housing shortages, economic pressure, and public services stretched thin,
03:30Canada is now choosing selectivity over scale.
03:34For students dreaming of a future in Canada,
03:36every step just got harder and more urgent.
03:39Canada's shift is real, and permanent.
03:48If you're planning to study there, you'll need more than good grades.
03:52You'll need timing, strategy, and proof you belong under the shrinking cap.
04:00And that brings us to the end.
